Margaret, a solitary woman living a simple life splitting her time between working in her charity shop and swimming lengths at the local pool, has her routine knocked when her ex-husband turns up with news her estranged son has gone missing. This visits sets off a chain of events that sees Margaret befriend a young teenage boy, seeking a connection with the son she never raised. In her second feature, director Rebecca Daly has produced a powerful, moving film exploring the connection between mother and child, anchored by an outstanding performance from Rachel Griffiths.
